Ranger Second Profession?? 

hey guys,

ive bin having a little trouble lately, im trying to decide a 2nd profession for my new found ranger, im stil trying to decide and cant get any further!!

this is where you guys come in! i have narrowed it down to either: MONK NECRO or MESMER...

any advice on which one of these i should choose and why would be really helpful, with possible builds i could use later on!

thanks! gary.


(P.S if any of u think i should use a different build with a reason to why, let me know! THX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

RE: Ranger Second Profession?? 

Rangers are pretty dang good on their own. I usually run a R/Mo with all ranger skills except rebirth. But I personally think the best addition to the ranger primary is mesmer. There are some skills in the mesmer line that complement the ranger very nicely.

RE: Ranger Second Profession?? 

R/N - Then you can make a Toucher! :p

But seriously it depends how you play, imo Rangers are like the Swiss Army knife of GW. They do everything kinda well but nothing better than any other class.

R/N if you like playing with conditions
R/Me can be an awesome interupter + use Mes stances
R/W stances again & perhaps some Adrenalin skills since bows chare that V fast
R/Mo for a great all rounder

Check Wiki for builds and see what you like the look of, you can always change it later.

RE: Ranger Second Profession?? 

ok thx guys, not gonna make any certain choices right yet, gonna give people a chance to say what they think!
thx again! gary.

P.S checked out GW wiki and definitely like the idea of a touch ranger, so any other builds that affect conditions in the same way would be great! (not just r/n btw!)

RE: Ranger Second Profession?? 

Keo makes an excellent point. They really are the swidd army knife of guild wars. I would not use Monk as a secondary with ranger, that experience didnt sit very well with me :p

Necro would be a great choice although you may encounter energy troubles.

And mesmer, hmmm... In all seriousness i would only ever use mesmer as a primary, apart from with a Monk, a Mo/me is effective but not with a ranger i think.

Necro should be your choice. but, it is YOUR choice and it depends how you play.

hope that helped.

Pen.

RE: Ranger Second Profession?? 

yet again! great advice!!! thx a lot guys!
i think i might just go with necro, and apparently touch skills are affected by expertise, so this might counter energy problems, also insignia etc wil help counter the energy!

i took in the fact u said that mo isnt v good and thats from a personal experience so i took this into consideration greatly

this helps too, but i figured this out tryin a PvP r/me (trust me! if u hav skills for the profs u want, use PvP!)

thx again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! gary!

RE: Ranger Second Profession?? 

gratz with youre R/N


i have an R/N to, but the only necro skill i used was faintheartedness, that helped well


especially for 1vs1

the rest of my skills, were bow skill, mostly skills that cause bleeding, so the 1 who i attacked, had a -6 health generation (bleeding + faint)



build:

beast mastery - 0
wilderness survival-0
marksman ship - 12
curses-12

no runes

Well they do shoot better than anyone else. But, I agree, they are the most versatile class out there with expertise.

Doesn't matter. AT ALL. You will find that as you develop your character, you change secondaries at least once a day depending on the area, build, and whatever playstyle you feel like that day.
